Belleville Spring-Loaded Taper Roller Bearing Support System For A Hydrodynamic Retarder

View page
US Patent:
20030064853, Apr 3, 2003
Filed:
Oct 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/968827
Inventors:
Conrad Rockey - Indianapolis IN, US
Steven James - Zionsville IN, US
Mark Rader - Danville IN, US
International Classification:
F16H057/08
US Classification:
475/331000
Abstract:
A hydrodynamic retarder has an outer housing and an inner housing. A planetary carrier shaft member is rotatably supported on taper roller bearings located in the outer housing. The taper roller bearings are positioned between a shoulder on the shaft and a retaining nut or fastener which is threadably secured to the shaft. A Belleville or Belleville spring is positioned between the retaining nut and the inner race of one of the roller bearings. The retaining nut is secured such that the Belleville spring is flattened thereby applying maximum force to the inner race. The force is transmitted through the first roller bearing, the outer housing, the outer race of a second roller bearing, the second rollers and the second inner race. The Belleville spring will accommodate axial movement between the retaining nut and the bearing. The axial movement might be occasioned by internal forces of the hydrodynamic retarder or external forces that are initiated by a hydraulic piston associated with the hydrodynamic retarder. The retaining nut force might also be reduced due to the expanding and contraction of internal components, such as gaskets, seals and seating surfaces. The Belleville spring accommodates these movements and retains a substantially constant axial seating force for the taper roller bearings and a substantially constant normal force on the retaining nut.

Transmission Vent Assembly

View page
US Patent:
6447565, Sep 10, 2002
Filed:
May 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/847132
Inventors:
James Allen Raszkowski - Indianapolis IN
Conrad L. Rockey - Indianapolis IN
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
B01D 4600
US Classification:
553854, 553853, 55505, 55510, 74606 R, 220371, 220374
Abstract:
A transmission vent assembly includes an apparatus having a central, internal passage extending therethrough. The internal passage has a larger diameter portion defining a pocket. A filter is disposed in the pocket to condense and return fluid to the transmission through the internal passage. The apparatus includes a shoulder adjacent the upper surface and a double lead thread initiating at the shoulder and terminating at a lower end. The assembly further includes a cup-shaped cap, press fittingly disposed over the apparatus. The cap and shoulder define an annular cavity and the cap and the double lead thread define first and second threaded passages. The cap includes an outward impression in the closed end which cooperates with the upper surface of the apparatus to define a connecting passage. Two bi-directional air flow paths extend between the transmission and the atmosphere through the internal passage, connecting air passage, annular air cavity, and each of the two threaded passages.

Multi-Speed Planetary Transmission

View page
US Patent:
20220364629, Nov 17, 2022
Filed:
Oct 5, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/766835
Inventors:
- Indianapolis IN, US
JERRY SUITER - Indianapolis IN, US
CONRAD ROCKEY - Indianapolis IN, US
International Classification:
F16H 3/66
Abstract:
A multi-speed transmission including a plurality of planetary gearsets and a plurality of selective couplers to achieve at least eight forward speed ratios is disclosed. The plurality of planetary gearsets may include a first planetary gearset, a second planetary gearset, a third planetary gearset, and a fourth planetary gearset. The plurality of selective couplers may include a number of clutches and a number of brakes. The multi-speed transmission may have four planetary gearsets and six selective couplers. The six selective couplers may include two clutches and four brakes.

Torque Converter Stator Blade Structure

View page
US Patent:
20150362054, Dec 17, 2015
Filed:
Jun 12, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/303139
Inventors:
- Indianapolis IN, US
Conrad L. Rockey - Indianapolis IN, US
Michael Rietdorf - Fishers IN, US
International Classification:
F16H 41/24
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a blade of a stator assembly. The blade includes a body having a first end and a second end. A flow direction is defined normal to the first end. The blade also includes a leading edge defined at the first end and a trailing edge defined at the second end. A first curved surface and a second curved surface are formed between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the blade. A camber line is defined through the leading edge and the trailing edge. The camber line is oriented at a negative angle relative to the flow direction.
